Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the ambient light sensor.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ambient light sensor parameter is 0.02 volt.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ambient light sensor.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
